ok, going to try to blog once a week...

Wish me luck... here are the items that I have completed to date: One of the first things I finished this year was mine and Greg's scrapghan:

I made myself another Hook Case... If you are looking for the pattern I got it on Ravelry (here), but I altered it quite a bit so here is my project page with a few notes... I love this one, and have many compliments on it:

I made a total of 5 sets of Fingerless Gloves (Brie commissioned me to make 4, and I wanted a pair) So here is one of the commissioned and then my pair:
and
Then I tested a pattern for this hat (uber cute, too bad I have a boy not a girl hehe)

I tried my hand in Tapestry crochet to make this square, that I sent to a friend to add to her blanket (It's a prayer square- I pray while crocheting, she assembles with other squares to be able to wrap herself in love and prayers)

The next 2 squares are also prayer squares sent to Gigi and Lisa:
and
Then I tested for a Tapestry style hat (I think I want to try it again w/ different colors that will show better) These will go to my local Catholic Charities:

Next I made 4 more prayer squares to send to Cindy so she can assemble for her sick nephew:

Finally I finished a fringe blanket photo prop for Greg to use in his photography:

This has all been done this year... I have also been working on some more blankets which I will get a collage of the squares made so far and will post them during next weeks post... And once I start posting again regularly, I won't have as many to post each week hehe

Been a while..

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything so here is a quick rundown of some things that I have finished...
A Purse to carry my bible study/devotional material in (first picture is the front, second is the back)


Several 12" squares to link together to make an afghan (not all that I have done, just all the pictures that I have, some aren't the greatest)





and 6" squares for the same afghan

Rose Choker

Ok so here is my first piece of jewelry, and it is also for sale ($5)
It is an adjustable choker with 4 buttons on the back...

This shows it on a person

Sorry the pictures aren't better going to have Greg take some with his mad skills hehe... It is a moss green necklace with a red rose flower and moss green leaves... The buttons are black and it has a loop to go over the button...

For a prayer afghan

A friend is in a hard time right now, so a few of us are sending prayer squares for her to join to make a prayer afghan... here are my 3 squares (two 6" and one 12")

a tote bag...

So here is my first tote bag... it measures approximately 12" square... Other than the colors, I love it... but we all know that I am not a huge fan of pinks... hehe... it is a soft blue and a pinkish peach...

The inside with the pocket

what do you think? Will sell this one for $18, or will take "orders" if you would prefer different colors...

My horrible cupcake

Ok so here is the cupcake that my sister found for me to try to make, she also asked if I would make one for my nephew's 1st birthday party...
I think it turned out looking like a puffer fish exploded inside of it hehe...

She likes it so I am going to give it to her for his party....

First "Trial" Blog

Ok so here is a trial post to see what I can do quickly
I have just finished 2 new crochet patterns, a hat for Greg (photos to come as soon as I can get him to let me take them hehe) and a case for all of my crochet hooks, needles and safety pins... I am hoping to get organized and be able to produce 3-4 things each week... We will see... Here are some pictures of the hook case that could also be used for Paintbrushes, pencils, or even make-up brushes... The sky is the limit! Let me know if you would like to buy one and I'll get back with you on the prices!
